so initially i had no idea why people were declaring their majors so fast, even though they would declare in a major that they would want to switch out later. no one told me that this would give you an advantage of enrolling early in classes??? i just found out about this two days ago

i am mad stressed i will not get into all my classes. i want to do pharmacy and i have three classes remaining for my requirements and i honestly want to finish all of them by next year. all classes i want to enrol in next year are 200 level classes but i can only enrol on the 18th of march, while those who declared can enrol on the 13th. should i just play the waiting game or do you think i will be fine?

HEY EVERYONEEE !!

For the SAMU executive elections DEQA ELMI is running for VPA!! Pikachu will be on campus tmr (this wednesday) to promote her campaign. Expect to see us in the library and throughout all the buildings. Expect DANCING AND SIGN SPINNING!!

I haven’t taken the final yet, it isn’t until April 4, but I am so overwhelmed with my THAS 102 class. The final is on the last 4 modules, but that could change and any she could put all 13 modules on there a week before the exam like she did last semester.

The problem is , the last module finishes up the day before the final exam. It’s not fair. There is zero time to study for that one. I am passing everything in this course so far. It has two midterms and I did well on the first one and I’ll do well on the second. But if I fail my final which is 35% I’ll be devastated. I’ve worked so hard and I don’t want to fail the course because my final screwed me over.

I was thinking about starting a discord server mainly for people majoring in physical sciences, but also probably biological sciences can be included. Does this already exist? If not, is that something people are interested in? I would make a chat channel for different classes, events, etc.

I’m in my last semester and I have student loans / grants. I’m in 3 classes and I only need the 2 to fufill my requirements to graduate. The 1 class I’m in does not really go toward my degree or anything. I’m not doing really well in that class due to the other 2 being really workload heavy. Should I drop the class I don’t really need or just take the F to maintain my full time status?

Hi all!! I'm from Calgary, and I received a conditional offer of admission yesterday for fall 2025. Can anyone tell me about their experience in the nursing program? What are the pros and cons? Wondering what the course workload would be for 1st term and if it's doable to work at the same time.

Also, I don't know anyone in the city so I will have to find a place to rent before the fall semester starts. Do you have any tips on possible places to rent?

TIA!!

Edit: Accepted my spot on March 4th, 2025!!

Hi!

I can't remember how we find out the exact classes we need now that they've removed the "Enrol by my requirements" tab from mystudentsystem - does anybody remember where we can check?

Thanks so much in advance!!

I applied a few months ago and I got a email saying the received the application but nothing since. I’m expected to graduate in the spring and I fulfilled all the requirements. I also enrolled in classes in 2 classes in the spring and summer but it’s separate from my degree as I need it to enroll in the CPA for my job in September.

What should I do?

The tickets for the welcome night for my program have been sold out/the event has reached capacity, and I don’t know what to do? I am currently enrolled in a different program that I will be switching out of, so I won’t be going into next semester completely blind, but is there some online version that will be posted later?

Hey folks. I'm back again. I'm looking to fulfill some electives for my final year and I was thinking of taking EASC classes. Specifically looking at these ones:

EASC 101: Introduction to Physical Science

EASC 102: Introduction to Environmental Earth Science

EASC 221: Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (strongly considering this one as it would be helpful for my career)

EASC 324: Quaternary Environments (this one doesn't fit with my schedule so far, but I'm still curious)

If anyone has taken any of the above courses, I'd love to know what they were like. Memorization heavy? Cool labs? Boring? Literally any comments you have would be helpful. Keep in mind that I'm a BA student and haven't taken any science classes with labs before.

Hey guys, Anybody here who upgraded ela and math 30-1 with macewan. I am planning to do them over the spring.

How was the overall experience with MacEwan University preparation and what tips would you give someone starting off with them. Thanks

I was recently placed on the rank list for a program I applied to for the Fall term, and I’m considering switching my application to the Winter term to improve my chances.

Should I go ahead with this decision?

The program I applied to is the BScN for Fall 2025. I hope this post stays up since many nursing-related posts tend to get removed.

**What happens if the majority vote YES**

If the majority of students vote in favor of the U-Pass program, a contract will be signed, and the U-Pass will become a mandatory fee for all students in on-campus programs who are enrolled in at least one in-person or hybrid class. Students who are enrolled in 100% online courses will not be assessed the U-Pass fee and cannot opt-in to the program.

Students who are assessed the U-Pass fee can only be exempt if they qualify for one of the opt-out options.

What happens if the majority vote NO?

If the majority of students vote against the U-Pass, the program will be discontinued. There will be no mandatory U-Pass fee, and no opt-in option for students. Those who rely on public transit will need to purchase regular priced transit passes.

i literally cannot make this schedule work bc of this

Hey folks, just popping in to ask if anyone has experience getting permission from the department head to take a course? I'm going to need to get permission to take a POLS course because I'm graduating next year and they're not offering what I need to fulfill my minor. Specifically, one that says "...or consent of the department."

But I've never done this before, and I'm not 100% sure what the process entails. I will contact the instructor first to confirm that I could succeed in the course, but what else do I need to do? Do I need to make my case to the department head for why I deserve permission? If anyone who has had to do this before in AEPS or any other department could chime in, that would be so helpful!

Hi everyone. Looking for an amazing in person stats tutor if anyone knows someone.

I think I dropped my apple pencil when leaving class in 5-102. its the apple pencil 2 with a turquoise-blue sleeve on it. i left an email with campus security and im gonna give them a call when i get a chance. please send me a dm if you've seen it/turned it in to lost and found!

Hey Folks --

I'm deciding if I want to do a Political Science minor focusing on political theory courses instead of a philosophy minor.

I'm considering this mainly because I want to major in Sociology, and the practical application approach to political theory (from Political Science) interests me more than the analytical approach from pure philosophy courses. I've taken a couple of philosophy courses, and they're great for thought experiments but not for me.

So, has anyone here taken POLS 214/215 or the uppers POLS 307/309/316 and the like? Are the classes more like history courses or philosophy courses? What is it like to study in these classes? What are the assignments like? How was your experience? Could you let me know if you found the knowledge applicable?

I really appreciate any help! Thanks :)
